PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
With the 2018 Winter Olympics starting today and running through
February 25, Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA) has worked diligently
behind the scenes to provide coatings that are designed to protect and
beautify ski equipment at the international multi-sport event in
Pyeongchang County, South Korea.
This is not the first time Axalta’s coatings have proved themselves at a
global sporting event. Last year, many of the skiers at the “Alpine
World Ski Championship 2017” in Sankt Moritz, Switzerland had one thing
in common – they raced on skis coated with Axalta’s high performing
coating materials. In fact, eight of the ten gold medal recipients won
wearing skis coated by Axalta. Axalta’s Stollpox, Aquapox, Cellonit and
Aquacryl Special Primer, Printing Paint, and Clearcoats in solventborne
and waterborne formulations have continued to make a name for themselves
in the sporting goods market with major ski manufacturers including
Atomic.
“Axalta has a long track record of painting winners, from race cars and
football teams, to champion skiers. Like these incredible athletes, our
goal is to embrace challenges that test our abilities,” said Michael
Cash, President, Industrial Coatings. “Our customers rely on our
technologies to coat products that battle the harshest environments and
abrasion, while adding to their superior performance. We’re truly
grateful to see our paint tested at such inspirational, global events.”
